R.I.P Dr. Richard Stein

Gone too soon and a whisper in the wind (12/10). Stein has been sharing information with me since 1997, both through his site, rec.knives and later SFI. Finding him here has always been a treat to read. His site most directly influenced my Japanese interests, right back to my first years of too much time online in 1997. Although, cuff modems were making life fun a decade earlier, download times waited for quicker dial-ups. Somehow I went medieval instead but Japanese sword interests really go back to the 1950s for me.

This caught me unaware, as having read from him quite recently (12/6). Always as gentleman, I raise a glass Huzzah!!

Cheers
